John Lennon double-tracked his guitar introduction, while Ringo Starr played a chocalho, which is a cylindrical metal shaker containing little lead balls.

Paul McCartney overdubbed a piano through the entire song (starting at the second verse) as well as double tracking his vocals during both bridges.

George Harrison filled the instrumental gap of the song with a guitar solo, which he then double-tracked to add more depth.
